Malaysian police chief Mohamad Fuzi Harun said the bulk of the drugs seized on Saturday was found in a container truck in the northern state of Perak.

"We found 569.5kg of what we believe is shabu in the container, valued at 28.47 million ringgit (US$6.94 million)," Fuzi told reporters.

Police believe the container was bound for Port Klang, where the shipment was to be split between local distribution and export. Fuzi said they were investigating the source and destination country for export.

Three men aged between 39 and 49 were detained at three locations in Perak in connection with the seizure and have been remanded till Jan 19 to aid investigations.
